My own diocese is preparing to ordain the first class of deacons since Your Humble Blogger’s, and the hometown paper (The Tablet) has biographies of the candidates. Twenty men will join us, bringing the total number of deacons in my diocese to 185.
I’ll be there on May 23rd for the Big Event. I’ll have a full report then. Meantime, prayers and good wishes go out to all these men and their families!
